A meaningless game here for both teams in terms of the standings and I think that's why we are seeing the total higher than we otherwise normally would, uncertainty in the lineups. Regardless, I think this total is too high and it most likely will drop, so grab now.

United has a 16-21 O-U record with a 3.2 gpg avg including 7-11 O-U at home with a 3.1 gpg avg.

Cardiff has a 10-27 O-U record with a 2.7 gpg avg including just 4-14 O-U on the road with a 2.3 gpg avg.

Both teams are trending Under as United has a 1-10 O-U record in their last 11 games in all competitions, while Cardiff has a 1-9 O-U record in their last 10 games.

United won the reverse fixture 5-1 in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first game as manager but that was a long time ago in a completly different situation. All peripheral numbers suggest this total is much too high.
